HARNESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 264,396, dated September 12, 1882. Application filed June 13, 1882. (Model.)

To alt whom tt may concern Be it known that I, PAUL PATTERSON WINN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Statesville, county of Iredell, and State of North Carolina, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shaft-Harnesses; andIdo hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of said improvement. y

My invention relates to the combination of certain devices bywhich the usual saddle, with all of its attachments-the belly-bands, 85e.- used inv harness are dispensed with and the shal't-tugs are attached by means of a snaphook to the hame-clip. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which gives a detailed view, in

perspective, ofthe improvement as attached to the end ofthe shaft and to the hame-clip.

A represents the trace-tug; B, the haine-clip; C, the snap-hook, by which D, the. shaft-tug, consisting of a leather ring riveted or sewed together, is attached to .the hame-clip.

E representsa cast-iron plateloop,attached to the bottom of the shaft by means of screws. This plate-loop consists of a cast-iron plate from two to live inches long and from one` half to one inch wide, flat on the side next to the wood, and of a loop formed integral with or attached t-o the plate, to prevent the shafttug D from slipping o' from the end of the shaft.

F represents the end of the shaft passing through the end of the shaft-tug D.

' G represents the hame.

What I claim is* The combination ofthe shafts provided with attachment, and the intermediate tug, all constructed and operating as and for the purpose set forth.
